The Schertz Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Debbie Klein as our new executive administrative assistant. Debbie, a graduate of the University of the Incarnate Word with a bachelor's of arts degree, is a former communications consultant and administrative assistant to the Boerne School District. She is married to Steve Klein and they have two grown children. Please helps us make her welcome.

Small Business Forum success

Almost 30 business owners from the Schertz area gathered to offer comments, feedback and have questions answered by key city administrators on how to improve upon processes to renovate or create a new business in the area. Special thanks to John Kessel, Brian James, Michelle Sanchez and David Gwin for participating in the creation of this ongoing open dialogue. The forum will meet quarterly.

The chamber officiated the Nov. 27 groundbreaking of new member Gunn Buick/GMC at its new Selma location. The 50,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art store will employ more than 80 people. To mark the occasion, Sean Gunn presented a donation of $5,000 to the Guadalupe Valley Family Violence Shelter. The new complex is slated to open in late summer of 2013.

New year brings health fair

Baptist Emergency Hospital is hosting the first-ever Schertz Chamber Health and Wholeness Fair, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Jan. 26 at the Schertz Civic Center. Sponsored by the city of Schertz and H-E-B, the fair is free to the public. Free screenings, guest speakers and physician question-and-answer panels are planned, as well as representatives from all areas of health “wholeness,” including nutritional, mental, physical and spiritual. More details coming soon.

The chamber would like to welcome “Investor” members Diamond K Eyecare and Fantastic Sam's, and new “Proprietor” members, CASA of Central Texas and Holtz Entertainment. Your memberships help us build a better tomorrow!
